Review your award offer by making a choice under the drop down menu next to each award and click Submit.

Pell Grants are “automatically” ACCEPTED. You must, however, complete the entire instruction process listed above or your awards will be cancelled. If you are offered other types of aid, you must select: Accept, Decline, Decide Later (if funds are still available), or Accept a Partial Amount (if you want an amount lower than the amount awarded.) Then click “Submit Decision.”

Once you have made a decision about your award offers, you may need to complete additional paperwork if you are a first time loan borrower (Federal Direct Loan or Perkins Loan). If you accepted awards for Direct Federal Stafford Loans or Perkins Loans, you are required to electronically complete an Entrance CounselingForm and a Master Promissory Note with the Department of Education at https://studentloans.gov. You will need your FAFSA ID in order to sign into this site. If you will borrow a Perkins Loan, you must click on the following link (Rights and Responsibility) and take the appropriate actions, in addition, complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) in person at the Office of Financial Aid.

Click “Return to Menu” and select “Student Requirements” to see if any paperwork or other actions are still Requested. Please submit the documents to the office or e-mail us at financialaid@easternct.edu with any questions or electronic documents.

Check E-web again after approximately two weeks to insure that your Financial Aid pays to your student account (Direct Loans won’t pay to your account until the week before classes start). If your aid hasn’t paid to your student account, please e-mail us to check and make sure you have completed all requirements: financialaid@easternct.edu.
